    I would suggest trying a different entry. I find that from the sit I get the worst grip in my knee pit. It’s hard to sink into it from that entry.

    Try a different entry and let me know if it goes better for you.

    It worked! So to me the knee pit grip looks solid. Does it feel like it’s not? Do you feel like you’re slipping?

    From what I see it looks like the foot and ankle are just sickling (turning in) common when we work on things that require focus on another area of the leg.

    Which entry are you using? Do you have video, that would be most helpful for troubleshooting

    For me the spray alone doesn’t work, I HAVE to add the powder to get the tackiness I need. The spray provides the moisture my skin doesn’t have so if you have oily or sweat a lot the spray probably won’t help.

    If it’s sweaty skin causing the trouble things like carpe lotion https://mycarpe.com/ or gamer goo https://gamergoo.com/ are antiperspirants!

    I wish I knew how to help you!

    You could try buying a wrap if you don’t mind not being able to do static spins.

    So it’s not a threaded pole but a pole with joints to connect it?

    If it’s threaded it’s not an xpert, it would either be an old style xpole or cheap knockoff. If that’s the case the threads are probably bent or busted.

    If it’s an xpole with joints to connect the pieces then you should see little x’s on the base of the pole and usually on the joints too. All joints have little notches that keep everything in place. If it’s not an xpole that may be missing and so the pole just keeps turning.

    Here are 2 photos of X joints. The first is the older style with the small round bump that fit in the notch and second is the newer version with the larger oval bump.

    Hi! So close but you’re missing one key factor. I’d say you should start off by training the Inverted Crucifix. It’s looking like the POC for your inverted crucifix are a little off and you’re relying on the back of the calf a lot. You should feel a good deal of grip between the knees as well, not just the pulling leg into the pole with the calf. Does that make sense?

    Once you have the correct grip for the Inverted crucifix you’ll be able to place the hands and body in the correct position. Right now you have the body centered with the pole. For a caterpillar you need to shift over towards the shoulder of the bent arm as you come up into caterpillar.

    Have you tried using the caterpillar program? I cover all of this and more in it https://www.studioveena.com/lessons/view_category/Nailed_it_Caterpillar_Program
